CISTUS
– (Rock Rose) Rock roses are extremely tough, robust,
evergreen shrubs for difficult, dry areas. Native to North Africa and Southern
Europe, they need sun and good drainage. They dislike winter wet and prolonged
frost. Very drought tolerant once established. They all have attractive,
saucer-shaped blooms. Each bloom is short-lived, but they bloom over a long
period, usually spring to early summer.

Should be tip pruned after blooming to keep compact. They will not sprout from
old wood. Do not plant deeply.

OLEARIA
- ASSORTED VARIETIES

*Nursery
& Vancouver Island Only *

A
group of evergreen shrubs and small trees that are native to Australia and New
Zealand. We have been testing them here for hardiness and have become quite fond
of them. While each one is uniquely different, they all seem to be deer proof.
So far they seem hardy here in Zone 8. Most have leathery, dense foliage. Some
would be great for hedging in protected areas. Most bear small daisy-like
flowers, yellow or white, some scented, in mid to late summer. Some of the
varieties we have in limited quantities are: x haastii, macrodonta,
nummulariifolia, panniculata, solandri, traversii. Sun. Fertile,
well-drained soil. Zone 8
